\n\n\n \n\n\n9:30 -11:15 (Bar
n) Before the Flood -Before the Flood follows Leonardo DiCaprio from the v
isions of hell in the art of Hieronymus Bosch to the a visit to the Pope\,
as he travels the globe as the UN’s Ambassador on Climate Change. Along
the way the film documents the effects of global warming on the ground\, C
alled “heartfelt” “level headed” and “passionagte” the National Geographi
c presentation is an overview of our current situation on earth. In one o
f its best parts\, DiCaprio sits down with astronaut/ scientist Dr. Piers
Sellers\, who has a stage four illness\, to come to an understanding of ou
r crisis from the larger perspective of outer space-- with hope.\n\n\n9:30
– 11:15 (Carriage House) Six Degrees Could Change the World - Degree by d
egree\, National Geographic examines the possible dangers and possible sol
utions to rapid climate change. Based on a book by Mark Lynas and narrate
d by Alec Baldwin the film cites changes in climate such as that which all
ows grape cultivation in England for the first time. All in all\, one of
the best documentaries on climate change\; it has a 92% rating on Rotten
Tomatoes.\n\n\n11:30 – 12:50 (Barn) Chasing Ice - Both beautiful and alarm
ing\, Chasing Ice remains one of the most influential documentaries on the
effects of climate change. The film chronicles research scientist Jim Ba
log’s efforts to chart the pace of the Arctic’s melting ice sheets over ti
me and documents the findings. Filmed by the award winning documentarian\
, Jeff Orlowski (his latest\, Chasing Coral\, was released in July))\, the
heartbreak of malfunctioning equipment and dangerous conditions counterpo
ints the visually stunning photography and the solid science that results.
Chasing Ice has received more than 40 awards. The New York Times said “A
solitary quest with global implications--makes Chasing Ice as watchable a
s it is important.”\n\n\n11:30 – 12:15 (Carriage House) The Burden: Fossil
Fuel\, the Military and National Security -The Burden is the first featur
e length film to tell the story of how oil dependence threatens national s
ecurity\, and how the U.S. military is uniquely positioned to bolster a cl
ean energy economy that will strengthen our national\, economic\, and envi
ronmental security. The troops are crying out\, in the words of Gen. James
Mattis\, “to unleash us from the tether of fuel.” The film presents the s
erious consequences of maintaining an untenable status quo\, while illumin
ating the economic opportunities offered by a renewable energy economy\, a
ll in the name of saving American lives and money.\n\n\nLUNCH\n\n\n1:30 –
3:00 (Barn) Cowspiracy -As controversial among environmentalists as it is
to climate deniers\, Cowspiracy follows Kiop Anderson on his personal jour
ney to find out the one thing he could do best to counter global warming.
“Deft pacing\, a dry sense of humor and a self-effacing protagonist\, mak
e this film eminently watchable” says The London Economic and it won the A
udience Choice Award at the 2015 South African Eco Film Festival. Cowspira
cy is highly persuasive at an emotional level\, however the films assertio
ns that animal agriculture is the main driver of climate change is dispute
d by the Union of Concerned Scientists and most environmental scientists.
A good film to see to challenge your personal lifestyle as well as to und
erstand one side of the argument in measuring the sources of global warmin
g.\n\n\n 1:30 – 3:00 (Carriage House) Time to Choose -Divided into three s
ections: Coal and Electricity\, Oil and Cars\, Land and Food\, this film s
uccinctly documents the grim facts and then explores what innovators from
all walks of life are doing around the world to change the trajectory of
our planet. Spanning five continents it focuses on the ordinary and the e
xtraordinary people who are in the vanguard of meeting their energy needs
sustainably. Unique among documentaries up to then for its message of hop
e. “There is simply no reason not to move into a new sustainable world. I
believe people are ready for that\, and our hope is that Time to Choose w
ill help inspire audiences to be part of this new future.” – Charles Fergu
son\, Oscar-winning director\n\n\n3:15 – 4:45 (Carriage House) Beasts of t
he Southern Wild - Nominated for four Academy awards\, called by A.O. Scot
t of the NYTimes a “blast of sheer improbable joy” this fantasy is rated o
n some lists as one of the five best environmental films ever. Beasts cent
ers on a young girls determination in defending her home from the encroach
ing sea but can be seen from many different perspectives as it “blends rea
lism and fantasy\, allegory and observation.” The film will be introduced
by “locally raised” Hannah Holby who worked with the collective which made
the film outside New Orleans.\n\n\n3:15 – 4:35 (Barn) From the Ashes - Na
tional Geographic and Bloomberg philanthropies teamed up to back this exam
ination of the impact of coal on the environment with an emphasis on the h
uman dimension - the impact on miners and their families\, on job loss and
on retraining - of one of the most dominant and controversial industries
in the history of the United States. Said one viewer\, “being somebody wh
o is going to grow into the future -- it’s very scary\, but I liked that t
hey offered solutions.”
